This week on Pizza Party, host Talia Ralph is talking pizza feminism with Jennifer Berg, NYU Food Studies Director and professor on gender and food and Hazel Cills and Gabrielle Noone, writers for The Hairpin. Kicking off the show discussing the “snackwave” internet aesthetic picked up and written on by The Hairpin, it’s something that has come about via Tumblr dashboard and is now a part of mainstream culture. Printed on popular clothes and seen on celebrities, it is the antithesis of the kale-ridden health food culture often pinned on Pinterest. “Snackwave” is described as a term used for the current internet phenomenon of young women and teenage girls expressing an obsession with snack foods. The discussion covers thoughts on thinner versus bigger women admitting to or being shown eating snack foods like pizza and how “snackwave” is on the brink of becoming an official social movement. Tune in for a timely and interesting discussion! This program was brought to you by The Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board.
